As Federal depository library staff and patrons are dealing with library closures, virtual work environments, and virtual service environments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, finding all of the information you need, and finding reliable information can be daunting.

From this toolkit, you can access:

Information for Federal depository library staff on FDLP operations during the pandemic.

Reliable U.S. Government information resources for FDLP patrons.

Downloadable images you can use for your library website to link patrons to your COVID-19 information pages or research guides.

GitHub record sets containing the bibliographic records of the publications on COVID-19 and Coronavirus cataloged by GPO. (Some of the records are brief bibs, or, preliminary records. Almost all of the records are for online versions of the resources.)

COVID-19 Pandemic Timeline (from the FRASER team at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis). This timeline provides details for key events in the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact in the United States. The timeline, which focuses on economic and financial impact and policy responses, is updated regularly with supporting documents and links.
